Here’s my preliminary work in my faux-Mayan for the next con. When finished, it will be incorporated into a facsimile page of the Dresden Codex. Since it’s radically different, I have included the translation at the bottom. This writing system was designed by me from my study of Mayan glyphs. I will be creating a full write-up on my Patreon page this weekend. . Feel free to inquire about the design. Prints of the final page will available in May. . https://www.patreon.com/dave_columbus http://dave-columbus.squarespace.com . #calligraphy #fauxenglish #fauxscripts #thisisenglish #doesntlooklikeenglish #foreignlookingenglish #squarenib #brushpen #beautifulwriting #handlettering #letteringart #typography #letteringdesign #moderncalligraphy #mayan #fauxmayan #mayanglyphs #art #artoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BscPrQBBwl7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1y1topbx4k44d

“one only has to be the brightest bulb in a dim lot.” . My faux Kufic script. Yes, my pen dried up in the middle of writing and I don’t have another the same size. . Many are the styles of Arabic calligraphy. Other styles I’ve worked on are Naskh and Thuluth. . https://www.patreon.com/posts/23754110 https://www.patreon.com/dave_columbus http://dave-columbus.squarespace.com . #calligraphy #fauxenglish #fauxscripts #thisisenglish #doesntlooklikeenglish #foreignlookingenglish #squarenib #brushpen #beautifulwriting #handlettering #letteringart #typography #letteringdesign #moderncalligraphy #naskh #kufi #kufic #thuluth https://www.instagram.com/p/BsbwEsZhqr4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gux6zy39fgpw
